As someone with a genetic predisposition to dark circles, I’ve been using eye cream since my teens. My mom, a makeup minimalist, had a cooling gel eye cream from the Body Shop I stole swipes of in middle school and was hooked ever since, using it morning and night. As a fair-skinned female, I’ve also had an obsession with sunscreen, but I had yet to find a great eye cream with SPF in it — or a designated eye sunscreen for summer. Now in my 30s and noticing the crinkles destined to become crow’s feet, I made this quest a priority and found nine formulas to suit a variety of needs, skintones, and seasons. Here are my top picks.
